I am honored and privileged to have taken seminars given by Dr. Travell. One turning point in my professional career was in Knoxville Tennessee, at the annual conference of the American Academy of Pain Management, where I had an inspiring conversation with Dr. Travell. I have had a successful practice which is 90%comprised of Dr. Travell’s and Dr. Simon’s teachings. My dream is that I can convince our current health care model to employ their teachings in the day to day practices of all MD’s DC’s DO’s etc.,. I truly attribute my clinical skills and success to Dr. Travell.

I am serching for information on Dr. Travell’s treantment for chronic lower back pain that was found by her in reading a medical paper written by a Dr. Ralph Gorrell of Clarion, Iowa long ago in some medicale journal (circa 1950-1980) A good friend of mine has been suffering back pain for quite a long time so I’m serching for some docter who may be using this meathod of treatment at present. Dr. Gorrell used this way of relieving back pain for myself and many a farmer at his little white house in a small town on the Iowa prarie for many years..Bless his soul,he and his nurse wife have been gone long ago..That there is ome still using this successful treatment today, many people should need to know where relief can be found. Please respond with any information that might be hel;pful. Thank you for your kind concideration.
